Question Fotospeed Fibre Based D/W Lith Paper (Eggshell).

Can this paper be processed in regular general use B&W paper developers for a standard B&W print instead of lith? I noticed the description of it being unsupercoated and was wondering if it would be suitable for Bromoil work?

There's but one way to find out.

The Fotospeed site says, "Fotospeed LITH can be used for normal printing and gives a grade 3 when put through regular print developer."

Thanks for that, I should have looked there in the first place.

But then noone else would have known.
One more thought, I suspect Grade 3 will be too contrasty a grade for Bromoil where low contrast prints are considered easier to work on. But don't let "rules" put you off experimenting.
